Ever since the last update every player I look at or have in my squad just says 'contract already accepted' or 'not willing to contract negotiations' but this is where it would usually say 'has potential to be special' or 'showing great potential'. It's really annoying I have so many players from my academy in my team and not sure which ones to focus on because it doesn't say if they will be good or not. Please change it back.
Community ManagerHello,
can't you read? There are lots of posts about this bug below, including screenshots. It's been quite a while since the last update. You can't see the potential note, and every player is reluctant to extend their contract. The only contracts accepted are for players I sign from the academy to the first team. The fundamental problem is that contracts cannot be extended.
It's unplayable. I thought someone was working on it, but I see that nothing has been done.
What is happening with this Manager Career mode gamebreaking bug. Has been reported hundreds of times, since appearing in the release of Title Update 10 (1.3), and effects all player cards in the game, regardless of whether in the current squad, loaned in player, or when searching the entire transfer market.
The community was expecting an immediate patch to resolve this issue (last week in a Live Tuning update, or this week in a standard Title Update), and with the last Title Update of the year releasing tomorrow or Thursday, EA developers are now pretending this issue does not exist, and asking for screen captures?
This is very simple.
In the Squad Hub, for EVERY PLAYER, the main tab (which shows a picture of the player, position, etc., there is a 'status' line. It used to say things like 'With the club since (date), or 'Exciting Prospect', or 'Has Potential to be Special'
At the last update, we were told a new feature had been introduced to the manager career - a line stating the player's current contract status. That does appear in the 'financial' tab but somehow the coders have corrupted the data that displays in the main 'status' line on the landing tab, so that instead of displaying the 'potential' of the player, it repeats the contract status.
It's a basic error which needs to be corrected, by making the field on the main tab display what it used to display.
This is one of the most annoying things that has been done for a while, and it needs to be corrected, please.
Okay; the attached is from an old version of the game, but nevertheless, this is the same screen in EAFC26 that has the corrupted line in it (see marked in a RED box).
Now, instead of showing the STATUS as what the player's potential is, it mentions the contract status, as also appears on the 'financial' tab.
Darko, it's a bug whereby every single player (!) you search for in career mode - youth academy players included - no longer show a status such as "At the club since X", "Showing great potential", "An exciting prospect" or "Has potential to be special".
Instead, I'll say it again, every SINGLE player (!) now has "Contract already accepted" where the potential status is normally displayed.
When searching players for transfers you rely on the potential status massively. The same when scouting youth players.
So many times a youth player will have 80-94 potential listed, but the status of "At the club since" let's you know they'll be 80-81 at best. So you NEED the potential status to be working and letting you know if someone "Has potential to be special" or is "An exciting prospect" - Contract already accepted being shown for every player in the save suddenly, renders the game useless.
This must be a bug and it needs fixing ASAP.
EA_Darko thanks for responding brother. I speak for a lot of people in the community when I say that I think this last update has us career mode players really frustrated. It was a change that wasn’t needed and for many players like myself who only really play for career mode, it makes the game unplayable. An eta on a fix or any kind of response from someone at EA would go a long way to help the situation
EA Don't care because we're not spending our monthly wage on FC points. Funny how UT gets sorted within days at max yet career mode players are pretty much told to get on with it. Same every year
